Hiding applications on start up!

In Leopard, you can access a list of all applications that open at login in Accounts that is in System Preferences. From there you can also choose if you want a specific application to automatically hide as soon as it is loaded at login. This is very useful for instant messaging applications (MSN, Skype, iChat, etc) that you want to always have running in the background.

Good tip. A little annonying that it doesn't actually hide dashboard. Dashboard on startup is a must cause otherwise when you go to use it you have to wait for the widget to load, but I'd rather it didn't pop up on the screen on boot up...
